They should do this, except match them against GvG teams so it doesn't take 10 hours to wait for a ladder match.

Crossbreed between AB and RA except skill level average is lower. I like this idea. It should give lux/kurz faction and gladiator points!

I think the common language of deez hur ferumz is english.

Make it slightly similar too ab: groups of four (or groups of two might be interesting?) are selected then randomized with other groups of 4/2, with maps smaller than AB but bigger than RA.

If it was on a random GVG map then I'd be down with this. If you win 5 randoms you go against team GvGs. (Like how a presumably decent RA team that gets 10 wins enters TA).

Thats a bit of a big jump (understatement, its a HUGE jump) thats like taking a PvE PUG and sending it to HA after completing 3 missions w/o deaths.

For anyone, like me, who wants to play in a massive PvP fight fest, then GvG, HA, and AB is there for us. No need to change any of the lesser areas to that because it's plenty enough.
I don't think he's asking to replace 4 man RA, but create a new PvP type that is similar, but 8 man.
Anyway, as I said, it's still a sorta bad idea. It sounds nice, but in implimentation it would be pretty bad. Plus, there is no need to spread the PvP community even thinner.

no

If any pvp modes are going to be added it should be AB for guilds (with a ladder and everything too, just like 8v8 gvg)

Wow, the amount of justification given with /notsigned's is pretty awesome.

Seriously, why not? This is not meant to replace RA or anything, it's just an additional game mode. If you've ever BYOB'd, you'll realize how fun it is to run around with 8 random skillbars and try to kill stuff. It won't spread the 'community' thinner, in as much as RA doesn't spread the community thinner.

Twice the team size, twice the faggotry.

As a four man format RA already has a huge problem with matching teams up, and pulling from pools of random classes. If you double the team size you literally double the potential negative impact of that flaw.

Just imagine the possibilities...

Going against a team of 5 monks, 2 rits and a paragon..... The single match could go on for years....
